General Details
Name: Chassis Modification, Fully Amphibious
Type (Category): Equipment (Other)
Reference: Tactical Operations: Advanced Units & Equipment (p. 115)
Description:
Evolved for the battlefields of the Succession Wars, many conventional vehicles and fighters drew increasingly generalized toward a certain set of standard conditions, which ultimately served to limit their options in terms of environmental functionality. Amphibious capabilities, dune buggy modifications and environmental sealing against vacuum all became optional features, available to a multitude of units, but not commonly seen on the majority.
The “full capability” amphibious option for wheeled and tracked vehicles is heavier, but provides a much faster means of getting vehicles across bodies of water. This feature is rare on combat vehicles, and intended for “over the horizon” amphibious assaults.
Game Rules:
A vehicle with fully amphibious capabilities has the same MPs on water (both Cruising and Flanking) as it does on land. However, each water hex (of any depth, including Depth 0) costs 2 MP to cross. While on water, the amphibious vehicle is treated as a displacement hull naval vessel for purposes of line of sight, hull breaching and sinking rules.
